It was a hectic week but I still managed to draw out some time to attend the amazing HTC One Launch at MBS. I can't really tell how fantastic is the phone as I'm not the user but definitely HTC has put in lotsa effort in their products. 3 things to emphasize on the new product:
-Authentic Beats Audio
-Amazing camera with speed capturing
- 4.7 inch screen
No matter how busy we were, we managed to have a good sit-down dinner catching up with the folks. Lawry's The Prime Rib.
I feel that I look different again in the above photo.......
Work has been so busy and have been bringing my notebook home to work over the weekend. I really wish all my hard work will be paid off in the end.
I've been thinking to take out some time to write about this "almost hopeless guy"
But now when I've time, my mind is blank and can't think of anything I can write about him.
Briefly, I shall touch on the surface.
We have this friend whose age is 10 years my senior. Recently patched up with this girlfriend who ever mentioned that she has already planned how to use up the compensation that the company gave to the guy. The poor guy here has been with the company for 3++years and company decided to sell away the department to a 3rd party agency. But, the 3rd party agency did not sack him and also retained his position as asst mgr... sad to say, he didn't take up the offer. Has been 2months plus but yet to find a job. The concern was on both his love life and work life. I mean, at this age, you are still letting people around you to be worried about what you are going to do. Thinking, why would you wanna do that, or you'd never know that the people who grumbled at you are the ones who really care about you.
The most hurting part is, you actually blinded by love and ignored the rest of your friends including your family. How would you not feel guilty to hide things from your beloved mum? I can't understand. Being defensive, being trying to hide things, being one coward can't take you any where high up there. Can't even face your choices and others, what makes you think that you can hold a senior executive position in any company. Seriously, even if you admit that you patched with the gal as you love her so much, there's nothing we can do to you. But as man, you have to be able to face your own decision and make valid reasons to justify your own choice.
Who doesn't make mistakes in life? The thing is you must always learn from your mistakes and do it right next time. If you continue to make the wrong mistakes (whereby you know it's wrong), no one can help you.
Whatever has been done, has been done. Down the road, we shall see how much you can afford to pay for this lesson.
I've grown & I've changed throughout the whole of year 2011. It was a year full of obstacles & I wondered if I "犯太岁" ... So, I've started to be slightly more superstitious such as, to believe in lucky color, lucky number, things I'd shouldn't do...blah blah blah...
And so, I googled....
"lucky color for cancerian"
"lucky number for cancerian"
... ... ...
How funny..
Anyway, we all hope for a good year ahead & I don't deny this year might be a total different year for me. I told him, "Next year's me will be in a different status sitting beside him..."
I don't wanna write down new resolutions which always got aged & never happened. Instead of having new happenings in my life, I'm afraid of losing things in my life now. I would rather state down things which meant lots to me & I wanna keep them all...
1) Good Health of family members 2) My ever-so-sweet relationship 3) Monthly pay-cheaque. (Of cox, no one will ever satisfied with any amount & I don't mind to get more~~) 4) BFFs 5) Lancome supply 6) The always happened shopping spree 7) The love from everyone 8) The current good skin
Simple?
Well, really hope for a good 2012 ahead. *fingers crossed

The Menu
I've always hesitate to walk into restaurant with set menu as I can't probably choose what I want to eat but this set menu is...... ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS~
Cozy small restaurant is packed, fully booked on the Christmas Eve. It didn't just filled with couples but also people with friends, BFFs & working partners..
They served complimentary drinks: Either a Christmas Cocktails or Sparkling Shiraz
Of cox, Sparkling Shiraz for us~
The decor is very homely, filled up with vintage pictures with structures...
Making use of the mirror which is next to me...
Dearie who is enjoying the surroundings filled with the awards won by the restaurant...
Broth
I didn't use flash in the restaurant as not to disturb others using their romantic meals. So you have to use your imagination to picture the dishes I'm gonna intro below...
The soup made of chestnuts...taste like a lobster soup but sweeter... Yummy~
Main dish: Stewed Wagyu beef . I guess the chef has taken a big challenge to cook Wagyu in stew form instead of steak form. Anyway, it's nice too~
Dessert: The pudding with honey plus abit of the sour taste... Cool~
All in all, we had a good dinner and enjoy ourselves very much. I hope you have a good one too~
The feeling of missing someone always makes things go haywire & also changes the personality of the usual self.
I was away for 5 "good" days and I can't describe how much I miss Cliff from the moment we bid goodbye at the airport. I suddenly feel so incomplete.. so insecure.. so uncomfortable..
I told myself that 5 days will be over soon and trying my best not to think of him so much but no matter what, it doesn't work. Until to one "desperate" moment... I took out our photo from my wallet to ease the abit of missing and my colleagues started to shake head and said.. "OMG"
Till that moment... I realized.............
I left my heart with him.......since a long time ago...
HE, being the only excuse I initially rejected to go for the trip.
HE, being the only reason I will miss so dearly & took out our pic in public
HE, being the only thought I keep wanting to come home fast
HE, being the only disease I diagnose of personality change
HE, being the only one whom I wanna be with
HE, being the only love from now I wanna hand my life to
Did I show how lazy I am by posting 1 MTV the previous time? C'mon, I'm sharing the moment of my time and telling you how much I love that song. I explained.
How sweet if you wake up to have greetings from your love who is right beside you...
I had a very good weekend which is yesterday and current, I'm spending lotsa time with love which I had longed for. This is to make up the time I'm flying to Milan this coming Friday midnight-AM flight for a 5-day-long holiday (Pure Play No Work).
Good sleep- Good day- Good breakfast- Good Weekend. Oh-ya! I can't hide neither I could describe how much I love the rain-dance shower here. Yi-Pee! Thanks to my colleague who suggested this place to me.
Thought: The Comparing of Love
My so-called friend once thought that I will only look for boyfriend who has more potential in spending power. Questioning what car he drives, what does he work as, where he lives...... blah blah blah... But end day, does it really matter? You can marry someone who drives a continental, work as a high flyer broker, lives in prime area BUT with high expectation from you, lotsa arguments, criticize you in public, insensitive, leave you at home for his own happy hours... blah blah blah.. ... Is that what you want at the end of the day?
One thing about me, I have too many and too much regrets in life which I don't wanna make the same mistakes anymore. Just from a few years back, I had gave myself a new life, new line, "Never Look Back. Never Compare. A Happier Me"
My BFFs will know this line by now. The true meaning behind it is not to regret of what you have done but to make the future better. Not giving us a chance and waste our time to brood over things which can't be undone. Things we can't changed neither we could re-write the fate, we shall let it go. So if there's a chance to undo anything, I've got nothing. If there's not so much of happenings, I won't be who I am today with my love & BFFs.
Just 2-3days ago, I decided to clear up my wardrobe and threw away whatever I think is unnecessary anymore. I suddenly felt there's so much things I left, kept and ignored. I picked up my courage and faced it, fixed it. I felt much better and I'm really happy with my BFF around who walked through another obstacle with me. How touching. She answered to me the moment I text-ed her, I mean, *drip tears. She gave me all blessing for all decisions I made, the word is "sincere". Yes! I'm here to make people jealous about the friendship I'm having which money can't buy.
For whatever it is, I'm closing another chapter in life will bringing back a brand new Eve very soon. I'm determined, enthusiastic, excited.
Dedicate to love and BFF, this is my love for you...
I've been meeting the same couple for the last 2 weekends and they were sharing about their love life - work - studies -planning for wedding ...... Just by hearing all these, my mind went dizzy and blank.
"Don't get married just because of marriage and of course, not about the age"
Till date, I still hear people saying "I've reached the age of getting married" or "Let's get married because we are not getting young anymore"
Maybe I will be more convinced with people who say " I wanna get married because I really love him and wanna be with him"
Guy: Dated for 6months - company going to give a "golden handshake" - sponsor galfren for studies -throw banquet next year. How pricey... Is it all necessary? Is it all worthwhile when your galfren mentioned that she's planning how to spend your compensation from the company?
Anyway, stay awake and give it a thought before investing your next half of life to the other.
Well, some happy moments here....

A very busy month for me that leads to lack of updates. Upcoming will be Milan/ Venice trip in October.
I don't know if it's because I was too engrossed with my TV programmes or my blog just got tired of me of vice verse, I accidentally deleted 80% of the template and SAVED TEMPLATE. I was like WTF! No choice, I quickly search into blogskins hopefully to find something which fit into what I want. I've tried like 1,2,3,4,5..... I've miscounted ... and Yes! Found it!
Oh! I finally went to collect my Uni cert yesterday after ...2years! YES! I just din't thought of the cert and transcript until recently I needed it for interview. Gosh! I emailed the alumni officer and managed to get my cert back. The next cert I'm going to collect is Diploma cert. Yayaya! I lost it! I just din't manage to find it so I decided to pay $21.20 to have the replacement.
It is really a good day to slack around with love ones but sad to say, the boy is at home working on his presso for his meeting tomorrow. His meetings and presso is like a never finish stuffs. If one day I were to get jealous, I would probably be envy about his work spending more time with him than me. Ha!
Woke up at 7ish this morning to pray my late grandparents.
During the praying session, the memories I had with my grandma slowly came back into my mind. I remembered how she reacted everytime she saw me and the care she given me was so much compared to other cousins. I had never feel the difference actually only until a friend of hers came to her wake and asked, "Which one is Yanting?" My mum pointed at me and the old lady started talking on how much my grandma praised me infront of her friends. I covered my mouth with 2hands and started crying. Suddenly, the loss seemed so much bigger than I could ever imagine.
Anyway, it was 2years already and seemed like everyone has moved on. No more cryings while praying, no more gossiping about my 2 failure uncles.
I know my grandma has never once leave me and she will always be kept deeply in my heart. Though I was given nothing after she left us and one of my uncles took away most of her jewellery, I'm actually contented. I had something that no one can every steal it away from me... that is the memories I shared with my grandma. This is what those idiots can never take it away...
How many times you have asked this question to yourself or him? What's the meaning of being fair? Are you arguing for the treatment has been given in previous relationship? Or are you only asking for the good not the bad?
There's no solutions to the above statement, the only thing you can do is escape by not giving a chance to think about it. The more you think, the more you sadden. It's not going to end. Apparantly, this will be girls' biggest challenge.
I can't elaborate more but only to talk within me & myself. What a crowd...
With this peace but troubled mood, I came by this blog. Not much of smiles but so much of saddness further.
I wonder.
I wonder what it’s like for you when I’m not around.
I wonder if you miss having me in your passenger seat and holding your hand. Singing along to the song playing and us yelling in the car, just for the fun of it. Making weird noises, talking, laughing, eating, sleeping, or being comfortably silent with each other. Swinging our arms back and forth while our fingers are intertwined. Having your arm held onto for warmth and randomly stopping to hug you in amidst of walking to a destination. Watching you intently with your hands on the wheel, you side-glancing at me every now and then, and kissing you at stoplights. Demanding you to focus on driving and suddenly realizing we like a lot of the same songs. Laughing at jokes and about the most ridiculous remarks. Having pillow fights, tickling each other, and cuddling on your bed. Having me to lay with and messing up your room some more. Occupying all the places that felt empty to you. Story-telling, sharing experiences, talking about nonsense, and saying little sentiments in our own way, mentioning things around others that only we could understand. Just smiling, happy, the entire time we’re together.
Do you ever notice my absence like I notice yours? Does it hit you hard or just as much as it bothers me? Does your hand feel lonely without mine the way I feel it without you here? Does seeing couples in public remind you of me the way it reminds me of you? Does it make you miss me the way it makes me miss you? Do you sing quietly to yourself and actually pay more attention to the road? Does your mind wander and make its way back to me when you’re alone the way you float around in my thoughts more often than not? Is it colder without me—are you smiling as much as when I’d be with you?
I had a few rounds of dinner dates and I am still claiming.......
A standard thing to do when my birthday is near is to dine at Lawry's. I din't plan for it nor I set this standard rule. Just that Lawry's will send me the 1-for-1 voucher which I can't possibly resist.
Good thing is, my love is also a beef lover like me and that's the reason which he will never reject me on steak, ribeye, wagyu.. whatsoever.. It is really important that you and your partner must have something common in likes or activities in order to maintain the relationship, although I now opposite attracts. Don't push for things to happen, don't make yourself do unnecessary sacrifices. Love yourself first & you will know how to love others.
To my love, Thanks for Everything.
13th July2011
I was in office on my birthday due to I've got to settle some work before I going for a half day leave.
To make my half morning of work worthwhile, my colleagues gave me a shock and surprise.
1st. They hided in a meeting room and off all the lights... waiting for my arrival. Where was I?
I was still working at my desk and din't realise half the world was gone... Then, they assigned an indoor sales to ask me for meeting...
*TA-DA*
They started singing the birthday song......
And gave me a big bouquet of roses....
The Ladies...
The Men...
They really given me a nice start for my birthday and good enough, they din't disturb my afternoon break. =X I'm really feeling so blessed to have them. loves.
I was browsing through my photobucket albums & found some really good memories, such as family event. My eldest cousin created a group in FB for us, the cousins, to form the unity and bonding. Well, I can't say that our relationship is not as strong but it is more of adults issues which we had previously that had created the gap between families. I'm really glad that he has created this group and added us all in. We shared our memories & I also shared the pictures I had taken previously in some family events. They are sweet. They are love. They are my life.
For this reason, I've been very active in FB to check if there's conversation I left out and to view pictures they've uploaded. A good objective I feel.
Life-update. Very static and waiting for a chance to be what I want to be. Okay, besides being wanted to be Rosie Huntington. I want to move on to a different environment. I mean work.
Once I ever thought, "Why am I getting the best of both worlds?"
Maybe I can't work concentrate in both but only one. God is fair, I ever said. I'm fated not to be the luckiest person on earth. Or should I put in more effort to balance the whole equation? Does it work? Is God or human out there giving me a chance to prove myself? Well, I'm not giving up definitely. I might have said some discouraging words and tweet about it, don't get me wrong, I am only giving myself a break then move on to be stronger.
Or am I not being satisfied? Being having a job position where bosses have the full faith in me & not being micro-managed. Having the flexibility at work is what a lot of people might want to have. Into a relationship which boyfriend is (*he called at this moment while I was writing this line), ok, my boyfriend is definitely the loveliest in the world. Being sensitive to what I want is all that I'd ever need.
Transformers 3 is awesome! After watching it, I've decided to google and find out who exactly is this hot lady. To my surprise, she's one of the VS angels...... Rosie Huntington. Loves.
When I grow up, I just wanna to be like her.......... Erm......
